Update:
The team of the MOL – K2
Expedition arrived with 110 porters to K2 Base Camp on Sunday at 10 am local
time. All the seven members are fine. Monday they started to sort things and
settle down to make BC comfortable. Hopefully the information exchange will
upgrade as well (since the have a permanent camp now), so we will be able to
report more often about their activities on the mountain.

I attached the 5 Hungarian’s
picture. It is NOT a Hungarian expedition though! MOL (Hungarian State Oil
Company) has interest in other countries including Romania and Slovakia as
well. So it is sponsored as a united Central-European climbing expedition.

I did not find a better
picture - than I sent already - of the Slovak climber (Jaro DUTCA) and the
Romanian one (Dan BORCEA). But I will get them soon. Cheers, ÁCS, Zoltán
